Start a Windows application from an ASP page
-
I'm a WinForms programmer mainly but I've been dragged over to the "Dark Side" ;) onto a web project which was going quite well.... I'm trying to launch a windows application from a web page but I have no idea where to start. :confused: The application I'm trying to launch is a database snapshot tool. I pass a date and time as a command line argument and some tables are populated. The populated tables will be accessed by some other part of the system. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

You need to look in to System.Diagnostics Namespace class Process. using this you can start a process by supplying command line arguments. The issue that you face is that you would not be able to lunch Process from web application, for this read this from Microsoft Help hope you find it an easy doing. good luck ;) Saqib -- modified at 0:33 Wednesday 24th May, 2006
